Dimarzio humbucker pickup PAF 36th ANNIVERSARY neck - black

Here are the characteristics that make a great vintage humbucker: a soft magnetic field, sweet tone, perfect balance between warmth and clarity, the ability to go from clean to distorted by pick attack alone. For our PAFﾮ 36th Anniversary Neck we wanted to continue in the path of pioneers such as Seth Lover (designer of the original Patent Applied For humbucker) and create pickups that combine all of the characteristics of great vintage humbuckers. These pickups are not merely clones. We re-engineered the PAFﾮ using our patented technology and Larry DiMarzioﾒs own 1959 cherry sunburst Gibsonﾮ Les Paulﾮ as the reference. Larryﾒs Gibsonﾮ Les Paulﾮ has a uniquely amazing sound and itﾒs not only due to the pickups ﾗ itﾒs the total fusion of many elements of the guitar itself. Although the pickups have a weak magnetic field, the sound is well defined: almost like a single-coil. We duplicated the weaker magnetic field in order to allow the strings to vibrate longer, as well as focus and articulate the attack and output. We use computer-controlled winders to consistently layer the 42-gauge custom-coated wire, achieving the exact frequency response we want. Then itﾒs dipped in our custom formula to eliminate squeal and microphonics. The cover is made from nickel-silver and our new plating makes it more magnetically transparent than the originals. The PAFﾮ 36th Anniversary Neck is smooth but not muddy. It performs equally well in the neck or bridge, just as the best humbuckers from the 50s did. Weﾒll build the PAFﾮ 36th Anniversary any way you want it. Choose the bobbin style ﾗ vintage glossy or modern matte, the type of base ﾗ traditional, long-legged or standard, short-legged, and the type of cable ﾗ vintage single-conductor or 4-conductor. The PAFﾮ 36th Anniversary Neck is available uncovered, and we also offer three types of covers: standard polished and plated, buffed with no plating, and our vintage worn cover that looks so authentic and broken in that youﾒll swear itﾒs been hanging around since 1959.
